First, I must say that I misunderstood my friend as to pulling all the fluid from the system...he was saying that I should draw the old from the master cyl with a turkey baster and start with the reservoir full of new fluid as well as attaching a bottle to the gadget which keeps the mstr cyl full while bleeding.
Picked up the brake super bleeder yesterday PM. The unit is actually a "Mighty-Vac" which has a large container with a large mouth lid. Built on the lid is an air driven vacuum unit with a lever to turn it on and off. There is a float valve in the jar to prevent overflowing the unit and blowing fluid out the filter.
I have a hand-pump mighty-vac unit which I have used before on my previous motor home. This unit works the same way and it has a system to attach a bottle of brake fluid to keep the master cyl full.
Rebled all four brakes and not much difference in pedal feel! Therefore, I feel the unit works well but did virtually nothing for my current brake situation.
Sorry I havent found the magic formula yet.
Plan on checking rear brake adjustment and installing new front pads next...if I find an answer, will keep everyone posted.
